ELLA WHEELER WILCOX has rented a
handsome fat on West Sixtieth street,
and will make New York her home during
the winter. She has already surrounded
herself with company of literary people,
and the coming season will doubtless
witness many q pleasant and notable
social gathering In her new city home.
Sprightly in conversation, agreeable In
her mariners, and full of youth and vi
vacity, Ella Wheeler makes friends and
retains them with perfect ease. She is a
thorough host, and enteftalns callers with
tact that is st once magnetic and pleas
ing. Her rooms are tastefully and
richly furnished, the walls being Gov
cred with portraits and paintings,
while every corner of mantel
and fancy stand is made q rest
ing place for some delicate piece of brio
brsc. Fond of company and friends,
she is scarcely ever alone at home, and at
present has living with her charming
protege, Miss Fannie Edgar Thomas, who
shares the tastes of the poetess IN her
work, and is herself attaining fattering
success as writer. Living but q block
from Central Park, Mrs. Wilcox can often
be seen with Miss Thomas walking
through its paths or raising the dust ot
its drives behind a spirited horse. Her
home life is in every respect beautiful,
and she who writes SO amorously Of love
and kisses receives an abundance of both
from proud and devoted husband.

until 372,674 members are on the roll,

insists that the ~ork Of this association
Is solely "brotherhood, charity and pat

against the charge OF political intrigue
that has been 80 often brought against
it. He will find it hard to convince
